Along with this, there is a vibrant distribution of the population in the country based on various geographical, political, religious and socio-economic factors that affect the patterns of distribution and the type of people that live in the different regions of the country. This project will help us explain the diversity of the place.

The source of the data for the project is here: Scraper Source, Data source.

Since all the team members: contributors of this group were born and raised in India, we were motivated to learn more about the demographics of the Indian population. We were also motivated to further explore the NCT of Delhi as it is the capital of the country. With this report from the Census 2011 data, we can understand the dynamics of population of India with a more analytical perspective and we will be able to make a better judgement of the various notions and myths about India and the capital NCT of Delhi.
